WTF? Seriously, who saw that coming? Maybe it's my blind hatred of all things John Elsmith that kept me from realizing that all games between MSU and Notre Dame must end in bizzare, arrhythmia-inducing fashion. Anyway, one guy that saw one thing coming that nobody else saw coming was Sed's call for the score total of the UCLA/Washington game, unless of course he was calling for UCLA to lay 70 points on Washington. Maybe that's what he was thinking. At any rate, he's now got a firm, long ...

HLS Experts’ Picks Week 4: Whappow!
We're back baby! The confidence is up! The boyrs are ready! Here we go! Whappow! Ya know what the ladies like? The ladies like this! Whappow! The ladies also like when we make great picks. ...
HLS Experts’ Picks Week 3 Results: Oh Fudge!
Well, that was unexpected. Essentially none of this past weekend's games went as planned. At least, not according to my plan. FSU played like they'd been spending more time with Jen Sterger than actually practicing football. Then again, so did Notre Dame. We pretty much all sucked, almost as much as Michigan. And the only real mover and shaker was ChisND, proving that, unlike Notre Dame this past weekend, you can make a comeback. So with that, we move on... The Games: Notre Dame ...
HLS Experts’ Picks Week 3: Boom Goes the Dynamite!
EDSBS has already called this week the Footballpocalypse. Right they are. We may never see another weekend of college football like this for weeks! It looks like the experts are changing their tactics a bit, giving up on homerism and adopting a win at all costs mentality. We'll all be playing for late '80s Miami in no time. This week's games are: The Big Game: Michigan at Notre Dame The Other Big Game (We had to pick one): Florida vs. Tennessee The Game Nobody Really Cares About: ...
HLS Experts’ Picks, Week 2 Results: ND is 2-0 and so is Sed
As always, the rules are here. I really have no comment here. Sed's ability to not be a homer like most of us, save BK, has enabled him to pull away from the pack in week 2 like Pitt's high powered offense. (We're still checking on that. Nobody, apparently, watched Pitt's game on Friday night, prefering to watch reruns of Full House.) I think I'll wait to pick Brady as a top 5 yardage passer yet again until we play a cupcake like Purdue. ...
HLS Experts’ Picks, Week 2: We Feel The Need – The Need For Speed. Yeehaw!
Again, the rules of the game are here. Last week we saw what was expected when West Virginia helped Marshall help West Virginia. All they need now is a little quand. We also saw what we thought we were expecting in the Miami/FSU game, as we all pretty much predicted a defensive battle and got, in its place, offensive anemia. And finally we got something unexpected in the ND/GT game. While we probably all expected a tough game, we didn't expect the score to look like something out of a ...
HLS Experts’ Picks Week 2: Battle of the #1s and #2s.
Wanna know the rules? Go here. Well, this second week of the season we are treated to the first installment of #1 versus #2 when THE OSU takes on THE Texas in THE Game of the Century for This Weekend. So it only seems natural that we make this game our "Other Big Game." So our picks this week will involve... The Game: Penn State vs. Notre Dame The Other Big Game: THE OSU vs. Texas Who The Hell Cares?: Pitt vs. Cincy (A Friday Game. So you can blame Pitt for stealing the ...
2006 HLS Expert Picks: Week 1 In The Bag, Down The Drain.
Wow. Well, we all pretty much nailed the WVU/Marshall "game." Real toughy there. And I think we all pretty much knew how the Miami/FSU game would really go, but we still expected more from the offenses. And I think we were right in the same boat with Brady Quinn and Charlie Weis, wondering what the hell was happening as the 1st half of the ND/GT game was winding down. Overall, I'd say our Experts stack up to most of the ones that actually get paif for this stuff. Can you believe that? ...
2006 HLS Expert Picks: Week 1 Picks
Again, the rules of the game are here. First, an introduction to the 2006 HLS Experts (More may be added if they stop being chicken): Bad Kermit: An avid Cubs fan who expects Notre Dame in 2006 to pull him back in off the ledge after watching another disastrous Cubs season. He writes, he practices law sometimes, and he built a pirate bar, for God's sake. The man has earned some respect, right? ChisND: A northern expat who now resides in the southern comfort of Atlanta. He constantly ...
